Looking from across the street, you could not help but wonder what is situated inside this building. Along the sidewalk, you could see a row of tables, filled with patrons, busy chatting with one another while sipping coffee or a glass of wine. You could also occasionally find a group of street performers, like in this picture, playing their old style of jazz.<br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 750px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/lauren%20pattiserie/building.jpg" /><br /><p>One day while we were doing some shopping in the area, I told <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Sayang</span> and family, if they wanted to try out a nice cafe that seems to serve some nice looking sandwiches. Everyone seemed happy with the idea, so we popped in. It looked like a nice cafe, well lit. The first impression was that this place is busy as you could see a long line of people queing to make an order for their food. <a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/lauren%20pattiserie/sandwiches.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 672px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/lauren%20pattiserie/sandwiches.jpg" /></a><br />It did take me a while to make up my mind, but in the end I opted for a Ham Baguette. Its a half baguette filled with ham, cheese, cos lettuce and tomatoes. It must have been one of the better sandwiches I've had, I mean a sandwich is a sandwich, correct ? I tell what made the difference. The ingredients were so fresh, I might have mistaken their lettuce and tomatoes to be garden plucked. The bread was fresh, aromatic, had a crispy crust and soft on the inside. All this finished off with a sprinkle of freshly cracked peppers. Unlike most other sandwiches this was not toasted, or pressed. Served cold as is.<br /></p><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/lauren%20pattiserie/tunasandwich.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 896px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/lauren%20pattiserie/tunasandwich.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Sayang and parents went for the Tuna Focaccia bread. Her parents just love Aussie bread. Focaccia bread isn't exactly our main staple in Malaysia. Its simply just focaccia bread with tuna, butter lettuce, and tomatoes. Sounds simple enough ? But I took a bite of it and would say their bread was nicely baked.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/lauren%20pattiserie/macaroons.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 651px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/lauren%20pattiserie/macaroons.jpg" /></a><br />To finish off we ordered a box of six macarons. Unfortunately for us, macarons is one of the hardest pastry to make at home. Theirs had a nice firm crust on the outside, and a bit chewy on the inside. The flavours were just exquisite. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The best thing about this restaurant is that, although it looked like a million dollars, the sandwiches were just about $14 each, the macarons were just about $15 for a box of six. Coffee and tea was nice and decent as well.<br /><br />For more information about Laurent, please visit their <a href="http://www.laurent.com.au/retail.html">website</a>.</div><div></div><div>Laurent Boulangerie-Patisserie</div><div>306 Lt Collins St,</div><div>Melbourne 3000</div><div>Melways Ref: 43 H8</div><div></div><div>Other bloggers' posts:</div><div></div><div><a href="http://www.mailintalks.com/2009/12/19/macaroons-in-melbourne-laurent-bakery/">MaiLin Talks</a></div><div><a href="http://rabbitsimsparadise.blogspot.com/2009/04/melbourne-2009-dessert-house-eatery.html">Rabbit Eats</a></div><div><a href="http://two-kg.blogspot.com/2009/03/laurent-melbourne.html">Two-KG<br /><br /></a></div><div></div></div>Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-12768026780617409682009-07-03T21:19:00.002+08:002009-07-03T21:21:33.378+08:00Bernsy @te MelbourneHi guys, haven't been blogging lately but promise to blog more often. While we have moved to Melbourne, we have also started to cook a little more than eating out, so I will post some recipes of the dishes we are trying out on Daily Rantings, and perhaps I could start posting my Cari Makan and Recipe posts on Bernsy @ Melbourne.<br /><br /><a href="http://atemelbourne.blogspot.com/">http://atemelbourne.blogspot.com</a>Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-44633479086140656572008-10-15T15:02:00.004+08:002008-10-15T15:24:36.095+08:00Curry Leaf Restaurant, SerembanThere is one part about preparing to leave which can be detrimental to my weight problems. Relatives are all so eager to say, come over and visit us la, we''ll do lunch or we'll do dinner. It's obviously a good gesture if you know what I mean, they just wanna sit down and have something to eat with you, chit chat, and catch up that sort of thing.<br /><br />Come to think of it, no other activity would have been acceptable for the entire family. I was thinking perhaps the whole family could gather up at Cosmic Bowl and say, lets do a farewell Bowling ( its cool but not everyone bowls )...<br /><br />Anyway this one is with our <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Seremban</span> relatives. Father in Law's side to be precise. But the trip down there is not to be wasted as our cousin brought us to try our Curry Leaf Restaurant, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Jalan</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Rasah</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Seremban</span>.<br /><br /><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/curry%20leaf/1-bittergourd.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/curry%20leaf/1-bittergourd.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />My cousin was vegetarian that day, and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Sayang</span> and Mom-In Law also opted for the more healthy meal, while <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">FIL</span> said, lets get some chicken ( <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">aiya</span> so nice of him, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">coz</span> he doesn't want me to go vegetarian because everyone else is... so he ordered a chicken for me). Anyway, the first tray came and I saw deep fried bitter gourd, yummy !!!!, not salty and not bitter wan... just the way I liked it...<br /><br /><p><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/curry%20leaf/2-chutney.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/curry%20leaf/2-chutney.jpg" border="0" /></a> Some kinda mixed vegetable, which I did not really fancy.</p><p><br /><br /></p><p><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/curry%20leaf/3-chickenperatal.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/curry%20leaf/3-chickenperatal.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is the chicken <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">peratal</span> dish that I shared with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Appa</span>. Really a nice dish, I totally didn't regret sinking my teeth into this succulent and spicy chicken <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">peratal</span> dish. Again, I like it because the spices were totally infused into the chicken, every bite into it flushes out all the flavours the chicken has absorbed.</p><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/curry%20leaf/4-naanbread.jpg" border="0" />Mother in Law's garlic <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">naan</span>. She opted for bread instead of rice.</p><p><br /><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/curry%20leaf/5-vegriceset.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/curry%20leaf/5-vegriceset.jpg" border="0" /></a> If you were going for just the basic Vegetarian Banana Leaf set, this is what you get. I mean the waiter came in once started putting vegetables onto the leaf ( 3 at first). He continues with everyone else, then he walks out for awhile. Then he came in and started putting more veges onto my leaf. Whoa.... 6 <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">varieties</span>, very rare to find this even in KL, then he walks out and came back with the rice. </p><p>The curries were all hot, and you are given a choice of vegetarian <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Dal</span>, fish curry or chicken <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">curry</span>. Taste wise, this place is definitely above average. The curries were tasty, what to ask for <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">some more</span> ? </p><p>The bill didn't burn a hole in our pockets either. So I am definitely recommending anyone going past <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Seremban</span> to try this place... </p><p><br />Curry Leaf Restaurant<br />NO 1274 &amp; 1275, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">JALAN</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">RASAH</span>,<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">SEREMBAN</span><br />70300 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">Negeri</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Sembilan</span> Malaysia</p><p>Also read:</p><p><a href="http://mjnsw.blogspot.com/2008/06/curry-leaf-seremban.html">Love is deepest Joy</a></p>Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-4172727547484742462008-10-10T14:30:00.000+08:002008-10-10T14:30:00.331+08:00Restoran New Paris @ SS2, PJ.One major thing about Malaysian culture is that whenever someone is leaving, they always organise a farewell party in the form of a sit down dinner. If you are chinese like me, you are very likely to end up in many Chinese Restaurants. This is the first of many to come and just two weeks from the day we leave.<br /><br />Pastor was first to ask us out for dinner. Although we have already had many sessions at our apartment (nye hehehe...), this dinner was with Pastor and family. We were looking for a place in PJ to eat and Pastor asked where do you want to go ? Immediately New Paris came up, and we ended up there.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/new%20paris/1-veg.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/new%20paris/1-veg.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>First dish we got was Stir Fried Vegetables. Very green, and nice. Also a very decent sized serving.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/new%20paris/2-yambasket.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/new%20paris/2-yambasket.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>The yam basket was also nice. It has the usual deep fried beehoon base, a small yam basket, but the chicken that came with it was diced in bigger than usual cubes.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/new%20paris/4fish.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/new%20paris/4fish.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This steam fish was cooked just nice.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/new%20paris/3watermelonchicken.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/new%20paris/3watermelonchicken.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>One of their specialty dishes over at Paris is this one. Watermelon chicken. Sweetish, and sourish, easily mistaken for pork and all. Its a nice dish and is a hit with most visitors at New Paris.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/new%20paris/5-brinjalwedges.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/new%20paris/5-brinjalwedges.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>A late addition to whatever he ordered earlier was this Deep Fried Brinjal wedges. That would be how I desribe them. Really very nicely done and not too salty. A recommendation.<br /><br />You know what really surprises me is how fast the food is served after ordering them. The food usually comes in less than 10 minutes (usually la ! ).<br /><br />Address<br />62,64,66 Jalan SS2/72,<br />47300 Petaling Jaya<br />Selangor, Malaysia<br /><br />Also read:<br /><a href="http://blog.saimatkong.com/index.php/2008/01/05/new-year-eve-dinner-ss2-new-paris-restaurant/">Saimatkong</a><br /><a href="http://kampungboycitygal.blogspot.com/2007/03/birthday-celebration-new-paris-ss2.html">Kampungboycitygal</a><br /><a href="http://www.3-meals.com/?p=16">3 meals</a>Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-46920259439488955422008-10-06T20:45:00.001+08:002008-10-06T20:45:58.626+08:00OUG Pan Mee Stall<p><span style="font-size:+0;"><span style="font-size:+0;">Sometimes the really nice stuff is hard to find, because they are not always as visible, or appealing for the general public to just walk in and say try their food. This place in OUG, is actually situated at one of those food stalls behind, OUG Parkson ( formerlly known as Yaohan). </span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/oug%20pan%20mee/1-stall.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/oug%20pan%20mee/1-stall.jpg" border="0" /></a> The stall just looked like just any stall, but as Ben led us through the back alleys of OUG Parkson coming through the main road, that revealed this hawker center in OUG, it didn't look very appealing. But since Ben brought us here, it couldn't be that bad right.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/oug%20pan%20mee/panmeedry.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/oug%20pan%20mee/panmeedry.jpg" border="0" /></a> Anyways, the wait would have been quite long if it had not been for Ben sharing with us his interesting experiences, and Sayang catching up with him and all. Both Ben and I went for the dry pan mee, which was recommend. Make no mistake, it is just remotely similar to the dry chilli pan mee, from Kin Kin. But I have to say it was quite nice.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/oug%20pan%20mee/panmee1.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/oug%20pan%20mee/panmee1.jpg" border="0" /></a> Sayang wanted to be different and went for the standard pan mee soup. I tasted abit of her soup and found the soup very tasty and rich in flavor. That kind of taste you find in real soup which has been boiled for hours. </p><p>When the biill came, I think it was just about RM4 per bowl. The price made it even better, and one of those very rare occasions I'd say its Pang Leng Cheng ( Cheap !, Nice ! and Good!)<br /><br /></p>Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-83280742926150981732008-09-30T09:18:00.000+08:002008-09-30T09:18:00.529+08:00Restoran Chicken Hot Pot @ Taman Usahawan, KepongEver since we moved to Kepong, I have been excited about looking for new food to try in Kepong. With Mimi who has already reviewed so many places in Kepong, I definitely can't say, that there is not enough eateries to try, infact the Metro Perdana area has so many eateries mushrooming, we did not know where to start.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/restoran%20chicken%20pot/1sign.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/restoran%20chicken%20pot/1sign.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>So one night we were driving around the area, when we spoted this place. It looked really interesting so we parked our car (parking is usually not a problem), and walked in. This chicken hot pot concept originated from somewhere in China, and it serves chicken, pork ribs and dinosaur ribs, on a hot pot. We also have the choice of eating with a spicy or extra spicy gravy, and served in a claypot with fire underneath it. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/restoran%20chicken%20pot/2-chikenpot.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 675px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/restoran%20chicken%20pot/2-chikenpot.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We tried the chicken and dinosaur ribs that night. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/restoran%20chicken%20pot/3ribs.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/restoran%20chicken%20pot/3ribs.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />To sum up it was just very much like a pork rib stew in spicy gravy or a dinosaur rib stewed in spicy gravy. We were both very disappointed, and was looking for something really special, but it wasn't. If you were to take it as a fast food, I guess its not that bad, and if you like the spiciness of the hot pot, you will love it. <br /><br />Restoran Chicken Hot Pot (Kepong)<br />11, Jln Metro Perdana Berat 2,<br />Tmn Usahawan Kepong,<br />Kepong Utara, 51200 KL<br /><br />Also read:<a href="http://blog.benghan.com/2008/09/chicken-hot-pot-kepong/"><br />Blog Benghan</a><br /><a href="http://tailim.blogspot.com/2008/07/chicken-hot-pot-from-china-in-kepong.html">Happy Happy</a><br /><a href="http://malaysianfoodguide.com/2007/04/01/chicken-hot-pot/">Malaysia FoodGuide</a><br /><a href="http://mikeyip.com/2008/08/20/restaurant-chicken-hot-pot/">Michael Yip</a><br /><a href="http://photojournalle.blogspot.com/2008/05/restoran-chongqing-chicken-hot-pot.html">Tze Liang got ripped off</a>Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com164tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-2443664600806550182008-09-29T21:03:00.001+08:002008-09-29T21:03:00.840+08:00Restoran Hee Lai Ton @ Shaw ParadeOur family had many catching up sessions, and this was one of them.

The main item we went for was the satay at this Pasar Ramadhan. Its actually off Batu5 Jalan Ipoh, and when we turned off, we went on a 5 minute winding road ride, and eventually arrive at an intersection with High Tension wires running over it. Thats Kampung Batu Muda.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/pasar%20ram%20sept172008/1sign.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/pasar%20ram%20sept172008/1sign.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>So when we arrived, I immediately whisked out the camera and caught them grilling the satays. I was told that these satays were only 50sen each, and they are huge. I mean where to find la 50sen satay nowadays, mostly half the size of what they sell here.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/pasar%20ram%20sept172008/2-satay.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/pasar%20ram%20sept172008/2-satay.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>The uncle knows that I was there for the satay and even posed for the camera abit. The marination was quite standard and not too spicy. The peanunt sauce was just nice, and not a wee bit spicy.

When it was smoking hot, I bet those cucur udangs had a nice aroma, crispy and everything I could say to describe, a good cucur udang. Unfortunately, for us, for the courtesy of our fasting friends in the area, we had to tapao them back. By the time we got home, it was soft liao... but the gravy was chun la...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/pasar%20ram%20sept172008/3-cucurudang.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/pasar%20ram%20sept172008/3-cucurudang.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I was looking for some roasted chicken or ayam golek kinda chicken to tapao back. We saw a stall with a huge sign, saying Ayam Dara... whoa ayam dara wo sure nice wan right.... I am not sure how they check whether the chicken is dara or not, but when sayang went over there, she didn't buy it, because of flys buzzing around those chickens, so instead we walked a few stalls down and saw them grilling this chicken. No flys around so we bought this instead. <br /><br />It was a some kinda sweetish, honey roasted type of chicken, which I likened it with char siu chicken.

I have always wanted to write about this Sri Nirwana Maju banana leaf restaurant. It has always been regarded as one of the better places to go for Banana Leaf, although I it might not be the cheapest.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/nirwana%20maju/standardset.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/nirwana%20maju/standardset.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This visit is a first for me in 2008, and surprisingly the first ever visit for Sayang to this restaurant. I mean we have dropped by at <a href="http://bernsy.blogspot.com/2007/01/saravana-bhavan-food-undertakers.html">Saravanan Bhavan</a> but not to this place. So as usual all banana leaf meals begin with, is the standard vegetarian meal. I think it costs RM5 or something like that, with unlimited rice, and vege. The deep fried bitter gourd on the right most, was on top form that night, it tasted totally out of this world, so naturally I asked for more during the meal.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/nirwana%20maju/sotong.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/nirwana%20maju/sotong.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We also asked for Sotong Goreng, which was made just nice. The marinate was aromatic, and forms a thin layer of flavouring onto the squid, which otherwise would have tasted like nothing. This was a great dish, deep fried, squid wasn't hard, and it tasted great.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/nirwana%20maju/ikangoreng.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/nirwana%20maju/ikangoreng.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We also tried their Fried Balos fish, Rm2 for a small piece each. It was quite alright.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/nirwana%20maju/ayamgoreng.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/nirwana%20maju/ayamgoreng.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Their fried chicken was so so, and nothing really much to shout about.<br /><br />Overall I found this place to be quite alright, the food is good, service is fast. It can get quite pack during dinner hours, and you might have to wait for a place to seat. Now that can be quite a turn off. However, having said that, the reason why people come in droves is that this place serve some really nice banana leaf rice.<br /><br />Also read:<br /><a href="http://www.awhiffoflemongrass.com/?p=38"><br />Lyrical Lemongrass Visit</a><br /><a href="http://www.xanga.com/tankiasu/612348677/restoran-sri-nirwana-maju-at-bangsar.html">Kiasu's Visit</a><br /><br />Sri Nirwana Maju<br />Address: 43, Jalan Telawi 3,<br /> Bangsar Baru, 59100 KL.<br /><br />Telephone: 03-2287 8445Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-49191333580128922142008-09-08T10:50:00.002+08:002008-09-08T12:20:15.026+08:00Hawker Delicacies @ Champs Bandar Utama<p>After trying their most talked about ribs, I had aways wanted to come back and check out their pork noodles. So much so, that one day Adrian was in the Centrepoint area, and asked me, dude, whats nice to eat here, immediately I said, try their pork noodles @ Champs. Although I have never even smelt the noodles before, the recommendation was based on reputation.. hahaha... So our friend came back on Monday morning and told how nice the noodles were and all... </p><p>So fast foward a few weeks later, I mentioned pork noodles again, and I got him fantasizing about Champ's Pork Noodles ( Chu Yoke Fun ), so much so, we ended up at Champs that night.</p><p>Surprisingly our friend arrived on time while Sayang and I made it there slightly later. It seems on weekends this place can be preety slow, either that or as I remembered it, it was the day Petrol prices went up to RM2.70.<br /></p><p>For a pub, they surprisingly sells drinks like Teh Tarik , Kopi - Ping, Barley ice, etc... I ordered a Tiger for myself, while they ordered their Teh Tariks. Drinks were quite alright, and they have Guiness, and Kilkenny of the tap too...<br /></p><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/champschickenwing.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/champschickenwing.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></p><p>Starter of the day was, half a dozen chicken wings. Marinated with spices, it is deep fried and served smoking hot. Usually when its smoking hot it tastes the best, especially when you rip the meat off the bones, and you see smoke gushing out, followed by its aroma, definitely a feast for your senses. Unless of course, the next table start blowing cigi smoke over la.. hahahaha...<br /></p><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/champsprawnmee.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/champsprawnmee.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></p><p>Sayang ordered her prawn mee, which came in a big white bowl, its broth oozing out with aroma, before they put it on the table and all. It had two pieces of big prawn, lots of chicken and pork slices, and the soup was sweet and bursting with flavours.

In this bowl is a generous serving of bee hoon, lots of choi sum, lots of pork slices, pork liver, eh what do you call chu cheong in English ?, minced pork, and lots of lard...... The soup was so flavourful, and sweet man... this is what I call in Cantonese, lok chuk liao ( the right ingredients, in generous amounts ). The noodles costs about RM18 / bowl I think, and it was all worth every penny. The pork noodles were like freaking awesome.... <br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There shouldn't be a need to call up and reserve, although on weekends, you have a lot of families coming in to dine, and they fill up the pub in no time.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Champ's Bistro</span><br /><br />Address: Lot F10, 1st Floor, Centrepoint,<br /> Lebuh Bandar Utama, Bandar Utama,<br /> 47800 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.<br /><br />Telephone: 03-7722 5800</p><p>Also read:</p><p>B<a href="http://bernsy.blogspot.com/2008/01/ribs-champs-centerpoint-bandar-utama.html">ernsy - Trying out their Ribs at Champs</a><br /><a href="http://khkl.blogspot.com/2008/05/champs.html">Nic's Visit</a><br /><a href="http://kampungboycitygal.blogspot.com/2007/10/champs-bistro-centre-point-bandar-utama.html">KampungboyCityGal</a><br /><a href="http://www.xanga.com/tankiasu/614400045/champs-bistro-at-centrepoint-bu.html">Kiasu's Visit</a><br /></p>Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-15169315634687573022008-09-02T17:04:00.002+08:002008-09-02T17:24:45.263+08:00Sup Tulang @ Kg Dato Abu Bakar Baginda, Bangi<p>I was driving down to Bangi one afternoon, taking an unusual route towards Bangi, via Uniten, calling it the back way la....</p><p>I drove past uniten, and then those training centers and the junction into MPOB, I saw a crowd at a very down to earth stall.

I think researchers in that school work doubly hard to prove to the world that they are just as good if not better. </p><p>Anyways, back to the food. This is Linda Onn's restaurant, although she goes, My Mom's Chicken rice.

You just don't expect this kind of answer from someone who blogs about food ! But, I really have no preference when it comes to food, I literally eat anything under the sun. I am that obedient son who eats anything that is put on the table. So Sayang consulted her friend whom she trusts to have taste, and made the necessary arrangements.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rahsia/1sign.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rahsia/1sign.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>It wasn't much of a secret, although the restaurant is called Rahsia. Being the birthday boy doesn't mean you get chauffeur driven to the restaurant too, so at some point of the day she told me, we are going to 13, Jalan Damai. I googled it and found their <a href="http://rahsia-kl.com">website</a>. The design looks delicious too, with much thought put into it.. nice website. Got awards for a few years in a row some more, very impressive.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rahsia/2-entrance.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rahsia/2-entrance.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>When we arrived after a long journey ( we were stuck on Tun Razak for like 40 minutes, with the jam starting from within the SMART tunnel), again as the saying goes, Tunnel Smart, Gamen nOT, me less smarter coz I paid TOLL, to get stuck in a massive jam....<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rahsia/4-drinks.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rahsia/4-drinks.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>To start off, we must first have drinks. We were ecstatic when we saw, FREE Cosmo drink ( yup everyone gets one free Cosmo each), alcoholic drink. Wah this place so nice give free cocktail all. They had a list of cocktails on their real menu, but not put up their website. Sayang ordered an ASMARA (RM 15) top of her Cosmo... and I ordered a house pouring Red Wine ( RM 15 only).<br />They also served plain water... wah another plus point.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rahsia/3-place.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rahsia/3-place.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>While waiting for our food, we took a little tour of the place. Really neat, nice old bungalow if you ask me. Since it was evening, and we were sat in the backyard of this really ncie old bungalow, mosquito coils were lit up to keep those mozzies out. But you can always seat inside, but the backyard had a better ambience to it, if you ask me...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rahsia/5-crackers.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rahsia/5-crackers.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We had an appetizer and a salad before the main arrived. Malinjo Crackers was an appetizer (RM5 only). Didn't like it a single bit, especially the normal chilli sauce dip. Would have tasted a lot better if it was sweet soy sauce, with chilli and onions, and a squeeze of lime. But this was their secret recipe ma.. so nothing to say.. hahaha.... The thai duck salad though was superb, and out of this world. The usual salad leaves were given and a generous amount of deep fried duck meat with skin ( crispy wan) was served.... Definitely recommend this to anyone.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rahsia/6-DUCKSALAD.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rahsia/6-DUCKSALAD.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />We ordered a lamb shank to share ( one main only ). 3 pieces for RM55. Over priced and tasted so so, and ok lah. It wasn't superb, but to point out, the meat was tender, juicy and falling off the bone. Some people will really love this dish.

You know you are growing old when the round wine glass can't hide the roundness of your face anymore. It was a great dinner no doubt, but that was just the beginning of our night really....<br /><br />I had a few seeds of durian after dinner, which then I threw up 3 times the whole entire night. I suspected that it could be the cheap liquor they gave us. Or it could be the wine. So please stay away from their cheap drinks should anyone wanna go there. <br /><br />Also read:<br /><br /><a href="http://rahsia-kl.com/review.htm">Overly patronizing reviews featured on their website</a><br /><a href="http://rahsia-kl.com/">Their Website</a>Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-39468419475313279342008-08-18T11:52:00.003+08:002008-08-18T15:27:40.094+08:00Wendy's @ Sunway Pyramidq: What do you call a happy burger ?<br />a: Bergembira !!<br /><br /><br /><br />For some reason, that day, we went driving around the Subang area, before lunch to do something. Hearing that Wendy's is back and has got one branch in Sunway Pyramid, I was just waiting for someone to ask, where do you want to eat lunch ? I quickly suggested, why don't we go to Sunway Pyramid and find something to eat. lol!!!<br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/wendys/place.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/wendys/place.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>When we reach Wendy's it was already packed, and we quickly got ourselves a place to sit, in this really cramped restaurant. Opposite it was McD's which looked rather empty. I can only vaguely remember Wendy's in the older days, when it was in Sg Wang.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/wendys/flys.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/wendys/flys.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We ordered three types of burger, shrimp, fish and double cheese burgers. All sets came with a soft drink and fries. Their fries were thicker than those McD's fries, which I thought were quite nice. Something different, but McD's fries are generally tastier and crispier (according to me la).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/wendys/shrimpfish.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/wendys/shrimpfish.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The shrimp and the fish burger look similar, but according to Sayang, she thinks their shrimp and fish burgers tasted so much better than those you find at BK or McDs. As for me, I don't usually take chicken burgers, or fish burgers, because nothing beats the taste of real nice juicy Beef burgers. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/wendys/burger.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/wendys/burger.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Actually I don't quite remember what this was, a double patty cheese burger or something lidat. I found the burgers to be quite nice, although I will also say the same about McDonald's, Burger King and even <a href="http://bernsy.blogspot.com/2007/11/burgers-arent-that-good-carls-jr-mid.html">Carl's Junior</a>.<br /><br />Although Wendy's made a come back after many years absence in the Malaysian market, I find it a bit over priced. I have to agree with what some people think though that some of the stuff they give back to us are of fresher and nicer stuff, as compared with the cheaper burger places.<br /><br />Also read<br /><br /><a href="http://bernsy.blogspot.com/2007/11/burgers-arent-that-good-carls-jr-mid.html">Carl's Junior aint that nice</a><br /><a href="http://masak-masak.blogspot.com/2008/04/wendys-sunway-pyramid-petaling-jaya.html">Masak-masak</a><br /><a href="http://ljung84.blogspot.com/2008/06/sunway-pyramidwendys.html">Ljun9</a>Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-29671186229856582512008-08-14T09:55:00.001+08:002008-08-14T13:03:32.990+08:00Gurney Drive Restaurant @ The GardensThis is perhaps our third visit to this restaurant, but I had only one other post on this place. I remembered the last I came, they just opened up, and apparently they brought these famous cooks from Penang and posted them here in the Gardens ( reconfirmed with one of the waiters).<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/GURNEY%20DRV%20MIDVALLEY/revisit/newmenu.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/GURNEY%20DRV%20MIDVALLEY/revisit/newmenu.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This time around, Sayang and I met up for lunch, and decided to drop by Gurney Drive again. Since Sayang don't get to go to Penang every other month like me ;) so I suggested we go eat some real Penang food @ The Gardens. Something on their menu changed this time around... they reduced their prices....<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/GURNEY%20DRV%20MIDVALLEY/revisit/ckt.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/GURNEY%20DRV%20MIDVALLEY/revisit/ckt.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We usually do not hear of restaurants reducing their prices, this is really a first for me. So we ordered anyways. Sayang got her Char Koay Teow with less chili, hence the color abit more brownish than reddish. Of course I preferred to have it extra spicy but this was Sayang's CKT.... hehehe.. she enjoyed it no doubt.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/GURNEY%20DRV%20MIDVALLEY/revisit/meegoreng.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/GURNEY%20DRV%20MIDVALLEY/revisit/meegoreng.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Mine was a mee goreng mamak. I've had this before, in my previous visit, so I took the same mee goreng again.. It was really nice, not sure why, but the local mee goreng mamaks are either too dark, too salty or two wet.

Some will come up to a rating of at most, average. This must be whats going on, with this restaurant, which is why their prices dropped big time....<br /><br />Also Read:<br /><br /><a href="http://bernsy.blogspot.com/2008/04/gurney-drive-transported-to-gardens.html">Bernsy's First Visit</a><br /><a href="http://pinkpainter.wordpress.com/2008/06/04/gurney-drive-pinanggurney-drive-the-gardens/">PinkPainter</a><br /><a href="http://food.yowazzup.com/penang-food-gurney-drive-the-gardens-mid-valley.html">Yowazzup</a><br /><a href="http://mumzie.wordpress.com/2008/03/02/gurney-drive-at-the-gardens-kl/">Mumzie</a><br /><br />It's located on the Second Floor of The Gardens, same floor as <a href="http://bernsy.blogspot.com/2008/01/flying-chillies-restaurant-gardens.html">Flying chillies</a>, <a href="http://bernsy.blogspot.com/2008/04/fong-lye-taiwan-restauran-gardens-mid.html">Fong Lye</a> and <a href="http://bernsy.blogspot.com/2008/05/sushi-zanmai-gardens-midvalley.html">Sushi Zanmai</a>.Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-43470527366969305042008-08-08T10:00:00.000+08:002008-08-08T10:50:33.807+08:00Power Rojak in LangkawiWe were in Langkawi recently for a much needed break from the hustle and bustle of city life. And one of the highlights of the trip, other than boozing all day round, was the fact that you could actually find some really nice food by the road side.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rojak%20langkawi/van.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rojak%20langkawi/van.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />This stall is found next to the airport runway, on the road to Pantai Tengah &amp; Cenang. We usually drive past this stall whenever we make our way into Kuah town. Always noticing a crowd be it, afternoon or evening. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rojak%20langkawi/stall.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rojak%20langkawi/stall.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>So on the last day there, en route to the airport, we stopped by this stall and found this crowd. Already expectations increased and we were hoping to get some really nice stuff.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rojak%20langkawi/laksa.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rojak%20langkawi/laksa.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Since the sign said, Laksa Power, we definitely ordered a bowl of laksa. It tastes similar to the Asam Laksa's we find in Penang, but it is still distinctively different. Not very fish, and we liked it very much. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rojak%20langkawi/meerebus.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/rojak%20langkawi/meerebus.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Other than laksa, we noticed many bowls of mee rebus on other tables, so I asked for one. The mee rebus had a sweetish and it was also spicy hot. The funny thing was that, they mix the normal yellow noodle with some laksa noodle (rice noodle). Just changed the gravy, and gave us some keropok for the crunch.<br /><br />We also had one bowl of Cendol, of which was great too. The picture, on the other hand, disappeared into thin air. Must have accidentally deleted it. <br /><br />The food they served was simply and nice. What more when I asked for the bill, less than RM7 for two bowls of noodles, and a bowl of cendol. <br /><br />Location,<br /><br />From the Langkawi airport, take the road towards, Pantai Tengah. You will see a few vans by the roadside selling laksa. Just go for the one with the crowd.Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-86684417250870712742008-08-05T10:40:00.003+08:002008-08-05T10:59:42.399+08:00Modesto's Hartamas and their giant PizzaI wasn't sure why the both of us were not working that day, but we weren't.

But parking was lousy there, and we spotted free parking for Modesto's customers only.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/modesto%20hartamas/biskit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/modesto%20hartamas/biskit.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>The next thing we know, we ordered a GIGANTOUS Pizza, and the free appetizer was Pizza Bread. It tasted like chicken biscuit, yummy..... we were both very hungry but had to wait quite some time before our pizza arrived.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/modesto%20hartamas/chicken.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/modesto%20hartamas/chicken.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>When the pizza arrived, we looked at each other, and for only God knows, why we ordered this huge pizza. I saw Modesto asking the waiter, dei who ordered this Pizza la... then I saw the pizza point towards us, before he continued to walk towards our direction. hahahaha... This was the Hawaiian Pizza half, with chicken and pineapples.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/modesto%20hartamas/seafood.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/modesto%20hartamas/seafood.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />We ordered a seafood something pizza for the other half.

Luckilly we found out that the pizza was 1/2 priced for lunch, so we found really good value at Modesto's. Food wise, I think comparable with <a href="http://bernsy.blogspot.com/2007/10/pizza-uno-centerpoint-bandar-utama.html">Pizza Uno</a>, which wasn't exactly great, but at least it was good value.<br /><br />Address and contact details:<br /><br /> Address: Lot 46652 off Jalan Bukit Kiara Sri Hartamas 50480 K.L.<br /> Telephone: 603 - 6201 7898<br /> Fax: 603-6201 5779 <br /><br />Also read.<br /><br /><a href="http://lotsofcravings.blogspot.com/2007/06/modesto-desa-sri-hartamas.html">Joe's Visit</a>Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-37090793499263338842008-07-31T12:39:00.002+08:002008-07-31T13:00:24.480+08:00Hoo Yee Kee Prawn Mee @ Kepong BaruI wonder why I have never blogged about Hoo Yee Kee before although we have been there like at least 10 times last year. KL is definitely not famous for coming up with really good prawn mee, oh well, not as good as the ones you can find @ Burma Rd, Penang, or 3rd Street, or the McAllister Rd Prawn Mee which I rave about so much.<br /><br />My take on HYK prawn mee, is that, it's a stall that serves up a half decent bowl of Prawn Mee, for people in KL. If a restaurant like <a href="http://bernsy.blogspot.com/2007/06/oldtown-kopitiam.html">Oldtown can serve prawn mee like this</a> in KL, HYK's prawn is like 10 times better.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/prawnmeeaddpork.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/prawnmeeaddpork.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This time we came over with Steve, who also knows this place very well. He ordered this bowl of Prawn Mee, Koay Teo , add Pork. If not mistaken this bowl is for RM9. Its a generous serving of extra pork there, and this stall also don't seem to stinge on giving noodles.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/prawnmeeplusclam.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/prawnmeeplusclam.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Sayang and I both opted for bee hoon, with extra Clams. Yummy. <br /><br /><br />To sum up, this place serves a decent prawn mee. A standard bowl of prawn mee costs, RM4.50, and should you want to customize and add more stuff like extra ribs, extra prawns, seafood, etc you can do so.<br /><br />They also serve other types of noodles like lum mee, curry mee, etc.<br /><br /><br />Also read:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.kuanfoodfetish.com/2008/01/hoo-yee-kee-food-stall.html/">Kuanfoodfetish</a> - got pictures of the place during the day.<br /><a href="http://joanchew_1911.blogspot.com/2006/11/famous-prawn-mee-hoo-yee-kee-talking.html">JoanChew </a>@ Aman Puri their new restaurant.<br /><br /> Gerai 7A, Jalan 29,Kepong Baru,<br /> 52100 Kuala Lumpur<br /> Tel : +6019 - 318 1533<br /> Operation Hours: <span class="hyk2Copy"><strong>24HRS</strong></span>Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-69648778502223690762008-07-28T09:58:00.000+08:002008-07-28T11:27:10.520+08:00Lunch At All Star Cafe, MidValleyRemember the last time we went to <a href="http://bernsy.blogspot.com/2007/11/nasi-lemak-and-lamb-stew-all-stars-cafe.html">All Star Cafe</a> ? We complained about lauya service ?

This two sticks of sate had a lot of meat in it, and I totally liked it because it was marinated with quite a bit of lemongrass. Mmm... tasty !!!<br /><br />The meal was quite affordable, only came up to less than RM40 for both of us plus drinks. The service may have improved a wee bit, but don't expect too much.

Food good meh ? Is it expensive ? and other stuff that goes on. We drive past DeFoodLand quite a bit, and usually on the weekends, this place is full to the brim, 2 floors of a corner shop lot in Manjalara. I know one thing for sure after doing some research, they are famous for CRABS.<br /><br />Our first visit, we only ordered one vege, and one serving of their signature, Butter Crab, which I found rather disappointing. The crab was good but cooking was not.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/defoodland/2vege.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 498px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/defoodland/2vege.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> Anyways, since it was Mom in Law's birthday, instead of going to the usual Fullwealth, I suggested why don't we go try D Foodland. So we ordered this 4 heavenly kings, which I thought was different. Its cooked with little dried shrimps and garlic, minus the chilli. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/defoodland/3noodles.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/defoodland/3noodles.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Instead of rice, we ordered long noodles which symbolizes longevity.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/defoodland/4tofu.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/defoodland/4tofu.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />This is Samsi Taufu, which is Tofu served with 3 thin slices of pork, mushroom and squid.

The crabs were fresh, but the way they cook it, really can be improved. Even thought the crabs were fresh, I have had better crabs than theirs.<br /><br />So much for a reputed Crab Specialist<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/defoodland/6mantau.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/defoodland/6mantau.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Anyways, the fried mantau was good, and we ate with the sweet and sour gravy which came with the crab dish.<br /><br />In the end I found this place rather disappointing when it comes to crabs. I am not sure if it was the expectation or it is just me. I thought the vegetables and the tofu dish were nice, they cooked it well.<br /><br />The prices here are slightly higher than most eateries in Kepong, taste wise, I find it just so so. Ok la.... but their crabs were a disappointment.

I remember most Shell Petrol Stations sell them, but I did not come by. <br /><br />I was quite sure, that cafe in Lucky Garden sells them sandwich, and while I ordered the sandwich to go, I took a 2 min walk and I saw Mahbub. I was curious to see what people were eating, because it did not give me the vibes of "just another mamak". Most people do briyani here, so I also ordered one briyani, bungkus, and ordered Ayam Madu (since I missed out on <a href="http://bernsy.blogspot.com/2008/05/kampung-attap-fish-head-curry-gerai.html">Zabrullah's ayam madu</a>).<br /><br />I found that their Ayam Madu was nice, crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Very nice, sweetish. The briyani is also served with two side vegetables, and gravy of your choice.<br /><br />The downside though, was that pack of rice cost me 10 bucks. Abit high for some honey laden chicken rice, if you know what I mean, otherwise I thought the food was quite good.<br /><br />Also read<br /><br /><a href="http://www.rasarasa.net/article.cfm?id=2759">juliansi</a><a href="http://www.rasarasa.net/article.cfm?id=2759"><br />RasaRasa</a><br /><br />Map: <a href="http://wikimapia.org/3615277/Restoran_Mahbub_Lucky_Garden_Bangsar">Wikimapia</a><br />Address: <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">17, Lorong Ara Kiri Satu,<br /> Lucky Garden,<br /> 59100 Kuala Lumpu</span></span>Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-82282213285423041042008-07-07T10:30:00.000+08:002008-07-07T13:21:37.442+08:00Tony Roma's @ The Gardens, MidValleyAfter being absent for so long (<a href="http://shanticombat.blogspot.com/2008/07/finally-back.html">this will explain why)</a>, I am finally back. After a much needed one week break at Langkawi ( my virgin trip ), came back, recharged, and ready to work. This is actually the prompt revisit of Tony Roma after the Pavillion experience. We went back in a jiffy, as Sayang wasn't quite happy with her previous salad bowl, tuna one, too fishy and too our for her.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/tony%20roma%20pavillion/trchickensalad.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/tony%20roma%20pavillion/trchickensalad.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This time round, she went for a Salad with Grilled Chicken. The usual salad leaves were given in abundance, a beautiful and delicious piece of chicken grilled, and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, thats what I call a perfect salad. But of course, if they could do it, I'd prefer it with a few pieces of bacon too, but since its in Malaysia, you can only wish la... The serving was huge and just as Sayang would say, its a Salad meal, not a starter, lol...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/tony%20roma%20pavillion/trbluecheeseburger.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/tony%20roma%20pavillion/trbluecheeseburger.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I wanted to try something different but did not want to over stuff myself, so I asked for a Blue Cheese Burger. It came with onions, pickles, insufficient lettuce leaves, two strips of beef bacon , and a huge beef patty wrapped in blue cheese ( kinda reminding me of Ramli Burger's Spesial burger, only difference is that the wrap is blue cheese, not egg).<br /><br />One big warning though, this burger is really not for everyone. The cheese is so pungent, from smelling it, the smells hits your nose even more once you put them in your mouth. I gotta say, I am not a real blue cheese guy, but its nice to eat it once in a while to remind me how durian smells like to the gwai lous... wakakaka....<br /><br />I believe we will be coming back to TR's soon for more salads, because I believe its worth it. Should you go in after lunch and before dinner, Tony Roma now has a 50cents promo for coffee and hot chocolate drinks. <br /><br />The salad's about RM20 and the burger is also about RM20. The bill came below RM50 for both of us, and I think its good value for really good food, although I might sound like I am patronizing them, it really was a good meal.<br /><br />Also read:<br /><br /><a href="http://toosuperheroes.blogspot.com/2008/05/tony-romas-at-gardens-midvalley.html">A Tale of Two Superheroes</a><br /><a href="http://www.thelustforlife.com/2007/10/04/tony-romas-famous-for-ribs/">Lustfor Life<br /></a>Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-32522714392990020492008-06-23T13:24:00.000+08:002008-06-23T13:24:00.368+08:00Nyonya Colors @ The Gardens, MidValleyI have not heard of Nyonya Colors, until it opened at The Gardens, near the connecting bridge from Gardens to Mid Valley.

Nyonya Colors, as I saw it, gave me the impression of just another Kopitiam in an up market area like The Gardens. Anyways, we walked in one evening, and ordered this Pandan Nasi Lemak bungkus. I immediately loved the taste of this little packet of Pandan Nasi Lemak. The rice is aromatic, and doesn't stick to each other. Each packet is neatly wrapped in banana leaf and waxed paper, is served with ikan bilis, fried nuts and boiled egg. Their sambal was very nice, but believe me, they give you a different sambal when you order the Big Plate Nasi Lemak.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/nyonya%20colors%20gardens/nccurrynoodles.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/nyonya%20colors%20gardens/nccurrynoodles.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This yellow curry noodles, was what I really liked.

Shaved ice, chendol, two tablespoons of gula melaka and two scoops of santan milk.<br /><br />Gardens, Level LG Food court area.<br /><br />also read:<br /><br /><a href="http://masak-masak.blogspot.com/2007/05/nyonya-colors-1-utama-shopping-centre.html">Masak Masak ( 1U)</a><br /><a href="http://klpeopleklfood.blogspot.com/2007/04/nyonya-colours-one-utama.html">KLppl KLFood ( 1U)</a><br /><a href="http://kampungboycitygal.com/?p=302">Kampungboycitygal ( 1U)</a>Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24986236.post-55535291392539784952008-06-20T09:15:00.000+08:002008-06-20T10:13:23.215+08:00J CO Donuts @ The Pavillion, finally....<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><br />On the same day we went to Tony Roma's, one of the first shops we walked past was J CO. We got seated at Tony Roma's, then I told Sayang, eh, why don't i go line up and try tapau some JCO back.....<br /><br /><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/j%20CO/Jco1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/j%20CO/Jco1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 650px;" border="0" /></a>The line was long, I had to wait 15 minutes before the guy came over and help me with my order. I took me another 10 minutes to line up to pay. Overall, we had to wait a total 20 odd minutes. <br /><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/j%20CO/Jco2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff94/bernswong/j%20CO/Jco2.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 650px;" border="0" /></a><br />I remember reading a comparison review from either Malaysian Today, or Yellow Post, of the three main donut players in Malaysia, JCO, Big Apple and Dunkin.<br /><br />So after finally having gone through the Q, after tapauing for myself, I think J CO really does make the better donuts, as compared with Big Apple. ( I think Dunkin Donutz simply aint in the same league as these two now).<br /><br />I find their pastry fluffier and lasts longer at the same time, while their chocolate tastes more kao than Big Apples'. I feel that Big Apple after opening up so many branches are facing some consistency issues here. Some branches actually make better donuts than others...<br /><br />:D So finally did the Q up thingy and worth every minute of the wait...<br /><br />Also read:<br /><br /><a href="http://bernsy.blogspot.com/2008/03/jco-donut-tapau-from-pavillion.html">Prev JCO eatz</a><br /><a href="http://bernsy.blogspot.com/2007/09/big-apple-donuts-coffee-curve.html">Big Apple Review</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Bernsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378752300233521319noreply@blogger.com11
